This year the Corn Festival is celebrating it's 10 year anniversary and American is recognizing it's semiquincentennial so we're combining the two for a day of fun. The Corny Dad Cook-Off returns with three cooks, who also happen to be dads, creating a signature corn dish. The public gets to taste each one and vote for their favorite. Each voting ticket comes with a free miniature American flag. The corn-eating contest has a special twist. Contestants will eat 2 ears of white corn, 5 slices of red watermelon, and a cup of blueberries. This year awards will be given for both an adult division and a children's division. |
